User Ratings & Reviews

12 oz can brought down from Gainsville.
Smell - deep coffee aroma, dark roasted malts, dark chocolate and some spicy notes.
Look - Black as night. Fully opaque. One inch thick tan head that dissipates rather quickly.
Taste - muted roasted malts, burnt like but not sharp. Stale coffee, some chocolate and pronounced unbalanced bitterness. I taste a bit of oxidation.
Feel - medium full body, creamy rich texture as expected in an oatmeal stout. moderate carbonation. Astringency faint, almost absent. Finish is long and bitter almost to harsh level.
Overall - Very disappointing. Had this beer fresh and in the taste is where this one has deteriorated a lot. Now just a shadow. As a coffee left behind.

Look- Oil black hence the name with a small light head
Smell- Overwhelming smell of coffee. Also strong scent of roasted malts.
Taste- Coffee as expected. Somewhat bitter. Complemented by a roasted malt finish.
Feel- Much lighter than expected. Light bodied stout.
Overall- Good beer. Coffee stout is somewhat bitter and nose is quite strong. Very smooth and drinkable considering being a stout beer. Low ABV for a stout but a good choice if you are a fan of a heavy coffee taste.
